Heating With Oil – Carrier Performance™ Series Oil Furnaces

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in Carrier, Heating, HVAC Sales.

In October of 1990, the cost of residential heating with oil averaged $1.279 per gallon (1). By January of 2014, the price per gallon in oil-heated homes came in at $4.020 per gallon. If you forget to consider inflation and if you ignore the vast improvements in oil-burning technology, the rise in pricing paints an ugly picture. But American’s live in a new world of energy-efficient residential heating technology.

Seniors may remember the comfort of oil heat contaminated by the scent of wasted fuel, but those are days gone by. Modern oil-burning furnaces present a new experience: Exceptional home comfort free of oil-related odors and the extra expense of product waste.

Current heating with oil equipment burns clean, efficient and safe. And oil heat is a cost-effective solution to your winter comfort requirements. Here are some fast facts about residential oil heating technology:

  • As of the past decade, nearly 10 million U.S. homes reap the benefits of residential oil heating.
  • From 2003 to 2013, builders designed and constructed over 350,000 oil-heated homes (2)
  • Current heating with oil equipment exceeds 90% efficiency
  • Due to the effectiveness of Clearburn Science, modern oil heating equipment burns 95% cleaner than 1990 equipment
  • Risks of leakage in an underground oil storage tank is less than 1%
  • Every gallon of that $4.020 fuel produces a whopping 138,000 Btu’s of heating power
  • Modern oil companies are reliable, honest and friendly, receiving ratings of 94% and above for speed and quality of service.

 

Truth in Pricing – Cost of Heating With Oil

 During the 1970s and 1980s, the annual cost of oil-heated homes reflected the consumption of 1300 gallons per year. Modern systems produce the same comfort level for a mere 800 gallons of fuel oil per year. When adjusted for inflation, the current price of fuel oil heating has dropped by 23%.

 

Availability – Risks of Heating With Oil

In past years, American experienced several shortages in energy supplies. But perhaps only the seniors actually remember the associated waiting lines. For more than thirty years, the U.S. has remained relatively free of any significant problem with energy supplies. This statement stands in reserve of the natural disasters that have sometimes hinder the flow of energy in almost every form, including electricity and oil-based products. Currently, the U.S. government maintains a Strategic Petroleum Reserve that tops 700 million barrels. This reserves includes two million barrels of heating oil reserve.

Getting the Most Out Of Your Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in Air Conditioning, Carrier, Carrier Air Conditioning Arizona, Heat Pumps.

Phoenix Carrier Heat PumpCorrectly Managing Your Installed Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump System

 With monsoon-related humidity breaking 80-percent and Phoenix regional temperatures remaining above the 100-plus degree mark, the demand for efficient AZ air conditioning continues to rise. In 1902, Willis H. Carrier invented the first solution to industrial needs for managed internal air control – the air conditioner. Modern home, office and industrial AC equipment now includes basic Carrier central air conditioners, the Performance/Comfort Series Heat Pump, and Carrier’s finest available heating and cooling system, the Infinity Series Carrier Heat Pump with Greenspeed™ Intelligence.

The cost-efficiency, energy-effectiveness and reliability of Carrier Air Conditioning equipment is established by years of quality performance and innovative advancements in AC technology. But what can consumers do to ensure that their Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump performs to the max of it’s design?

 

Avoid the Myths of AC and Heat Pump Management

To get the most out of your installed Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump system, you need to learn the difference between AC myths and AC truths. Effective cooling and heating depends upon right-matching, right-sizing and right-installation of the Carrier HP best suited to your Gilbert, Peoria, Scottsdale or other Phoenix area home or business. However, for the most efficient AC performance, there are also some things that homeowners and business owners should avoid. You need to know the truths concerning the following Air Conditioning myths and misconceptions:

  1. Myth: Setting an AC fan system on continuous action is more economical than an automated system.
  2. Truth: This concept is only valid when your Carrier Heat Pump is using an electronic air filter.
  1. Myth: Shutting the air registers in unused rooms saves operation expenses.
  2. Truth: Correctly installed Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump systems are selected as an exact match to the structural-specific and air-flow requirements of your home or business. Isolating rooms and closing off vents can actually create a pressure imbalance, which ends up decreasing system efficiency while actually forcing your AC motors to work harder.
  1. Myth: Closing interior doors improves heating and cooling efficiency.
  2. Truth: Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump installations are crafted for a closed-loop environment. When installed as a right-sized, right-matched and properly planned cooling system, your heat pump is crafted to provide precise air pressure throughout the home or office. Closing interior doors that lead into rooms that were fitted into the original design of your Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump installation can produce room-specific pressure leaks around ceiling fixtures, exterior doors, wall plates and windows. Thus the system ends up wasting resources by heating or cooling unnecessary regions within the home or even discharging treated air into the outside spaces.
  1. Myth: Selecting a thermostat setting that limits system run time saves money.
  2. Truth: In order to efficiency perform moisture removal, an installed Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump needs a continuous run of eight to ten minutes. Due to excessive starting and stopping, short running spans create unnecessary motor wear. Furthermore, humidity levels remain high due to the systems inability to fully remove internal moisture. One way to help eliminate short runs: Install a Carrier two-stage AC system.
  1. Myth: Maintaining a constraint and certain thermostat setting provides cost-efficient heating and cooling.
  2. Truth: Scheduled thermostat changes can provide very effective reduction in heating and cooling costs. Your installed Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump should include a matching programmable thermostat control unit. For example: The Carrier Infinity® Series Heat Pump With Greenspeed™ Intelligence includes a unique-variable-speed technological feature that enables automated management of longer running, lower speed air flow. The effective result: Higher comfort, better efficiency and increased savings in heating and cooling costs.

Expert Carrier AC Installation for Cool Phoenix Living

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in AC Installation, Arizona Air Conditioning Installation, Carrier, Carrier Air Conditioning Arizona.

Home air conditioning is all about personal and family comfort. But what you buy, how much you spend and how effective if works depends as much on location and installation as it does on product quality. Carrier produces some of the best home air conditioning systems in the world, but how do you know which Carrier A/C system best fits your Phoenix AZ home, and which expert Carrier AC installation crew can get the job done quickly, efficiently and right?

 

What’s It Like To Live In Arizona, Around The Valley, In Gilbert, Mesa And Other Phoenix Regions?

On the positive side, you can expect sunny days, some harsh weather and some nice weather, toll-free roads, gun laws that favor the victim rather than the criminal, good people with conservative attitudes, few labor disputes, and a mixture of climate and geography that includes canyons, forests and deserts.

On the negative side, you may encounter a shortage of competitive jobs, an economy too dependent on construction and retiree-owned real estate, dry air and perhaps an over-abundance of sun, lots of small houses too close together, a shortage of shade, and that awesome endless press of summer heat.

In other words, Arizona is not New York City and the need for high performance expert Carrier AC installation and cooling power rules dominate for more than seven months per year.

 

Quite Comfort With Installed Carrier A/C in Phoenix

Weather is often unpredictable, but around Gilbert, Peoria, Scottsdale and other valley regions, the heat typically far surpasses the cool. Home should be a place for comfort and relaxation.

Expert Arizona Carrier AC Installation

Manufactured Weather – How Carrier Heat Pumps Function

Written by American Cooling And Heating on . Posted in AC Installation, Carrier, Heat Pumps.

Carrier Heat Pumps – A Revamping of Manufactured Weather

Carrier Heat Pump Condensing Unit

Just a little over 114 years ago, escaping from the torment of 100-plus degree Arizona temperatures was limited to finding shade, taking cold showers or standing near to an electric fan. William Carrier had not yet coined the term “manufactured weather,” and the concept of air conditioning was a dream not yet formulated as an attainable project. A/C units were nonexistent. The concept of a Carrier Heat Pump was even further from thought..

But in 1902, Willis Carrier created a product that changed the world’s concept of heating and cooling and the principles of environmental control. The Carrier “manufactured weather” machines resolved the challenges of how to regulate indoor environments via the power of modern air conditioning. The age of healthier interior air flow, improved personal comfort and a new method for overcoming summer heat waves  – even those scorching air-twisters that shimmer above Phoenix AZ – had finally arrived.    

Modern Carrier air conditioning systems and Carrier heat pumps enable industries worldwide with the tools that promote better employee productivity, health and workplace comforts. In the global-wide residential home front, Carrier heating and cooling products help homeowners find reprieve, comfort and relaxation regardless of the bruising associated with exterior climate changes.

But what is it that makes a Carrier Heat Pump superior to standard central air conditioning?

Manufactured Weather – Carrier Heat Pumps Address Both Sides of the Coin

Throughout Canada, Mexico and the United States, over 20,000 air conditioning service dealers carry and install Carrier HP equipment and other Carrier HVAC products. The Carrier Company Website lists 31 dealers in the general Phoenix area, including regions that take in Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Glendale and Peoria. Carrier HVAC products are designed to handle even the most extreme demands for “manufactured weather.”

So how do Carrier HP systems work?

The functions of a heat pump are no mystery. The heat pump merely regulates the process of how heat moves. For example: Place a cup of hot coffee on an outside table and leave it untouched for several hours. The heat escapes into the atmosphere and the coffee grows cold – even when the external atmosphere is already very hot. Therein lie the fundamentals of what it means to “move” heat.

A Carrier Heat Pump flips the process. Rather than permitting heat to escape into the external atmosphere, a HP draws heat energy from the outside and “moves” it into an enclosed area – the rooms in your home or office.

But what happens when the outside temperature rises above the desired internal temperature? Your Carrier HP equipment merely reverses the direction of “movement.” As a result, the heat within your home or office gets relocated to the outside atmosphere. The temperature within your home drops and you experience cool and comfort – regardless of the current 110-degree Phoenix heat wave.

The point to remember: Heat Pumps do not generate heat; they merely relocate heat. Thus the cost of operating a heat pump is much less expensive than the price of electrical energy, gas or any other type of fossil fuel. An installed Heat Pump system provides a cost-effective energy-efficient solution to your Phoenix area need for “manufactured weather.”

The Definition of a Fully Equipped Gilbert Air Conditioning Service Center

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in AC Installation, AC Service, Carrier.

Summer temperatures in Arizona place high demands on Gilbert AC repair techs and Gilbert AC service centers. For long periods of time, typical heat indexes can hit and linger in the triple digit range. The city merges big city conveniences into the core of stunning desert terrain known for attracting the attention of people with a mind to be in open spaces.

Gilbert is a good place. The city has class and a sense of character that distinguishes it from other U.S. towns and cities. Yet the harshness of the landscape can lay a heavy toll upon the rugged lovers of the desert lifestyle. Long months of 100-plus degree summer temperatures can be dangerous to even the most rugged Gilbert homeowner.

Making contact with a professional Gilbert AC service center can be one of the most important decisions a Gilbert desert dweller ever makes. 

 

A Division in Quality

Not all Gilbert AC repair techs practice the same principles and not all Gilbert AC service centers provide the same quality of service. Shortcomings in customer service and tech performance can be due to:

  • A company’s inability to keep up with the seasonal workload
  • Insufficient training of the available personnel
  • Insufficient tech-power
  • Overworked vehicles
  • Limited financial resources
  • And many other complications.

No business owner strives to fail, but sometimes companies are forced to operate beneath peek efficiency levels. The Arizona summer is never a time for an AC service center to be short handed or service-equipment hampered. Yet some Gilbert Air Conditioning Service Centers are willing to risk the consequences of reduced personnel and reduced spending on the maintenance of service vehicles.

Being small in size can enable a local AC repair company to offer better upfront prices than what can be obtained via a fully equipped Gilbert Air Conditioning Service Center. But the question remains: Can an understaffed and ill-equipped Gilbert AC Repair Shop provide:

  • Guaranteed 24-hour turnaround
  • Expert heating and cooling technicians with experience in Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, Trane and others
  • Quality customer service
  • A complete line of component parts for Amana, Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, Trane or any other top heating and cooling products
  • Drug free tested technicians
  • A history of being in the same business year after year
  • Or the assurance that the AC installer will be around to keep up with customer warranties?

 

Arizona-Based American Cooling and Heating, a Fully Equipped Gilbert AC Service Center

Every Gilbert AC Repair Center understands the health risks associated with a broken or poorly functional home or business cooling system. American Cooling and Heating knows the value of quick response service calls. They don’t come up short handed on technicians and they don’t come up shy of cooling components or equipment.

In towns and cities where personal comforts are the only criteria for installed air conditioning, late arrival repair techs and delayed component shipments may be questionable but acceptable air conditioning “solution”. In Gilbert AZ, such poor response can result in serious health issues.

Getting technicians to the worksite on time is part of doing the job right. Having on-hand components for Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, Trane and other top HVAC equipment is also part of doing the job right. But technical know-how and skill, professional onsite behavior and quality customer service make the finishing touches.

The AC techs at American Cooling and Heating are:

  • Gilbert AC Installation and AC Repair professionals
  • Trained in all matters pertaining to the American Cooling and Heating assurance of reliable customer service
  • Instructed in the factory specified features of repair and installation for Carrier air conditioning equipment, Trane heating and cooling units, Goodman AC equipment and every other top heating and cooling product on the market
  • Certified as one of the most skilled air conditioning technicians in Gilbert Arizona.

 

Service Center or Fully Equipped Service Center – Which Suits Gilbert Residents Best?

Even the best Do-It-Yourself homeowners get very careful when buying or installing air conditioning equipment. Without the right training and tools, installing an AC can end up wrong in many ways. Saving a few dollars on the front end can result in major expenses at the tail end.

Cheap repairs and AC installations can end up carrying a heavy price tag. To get the best for the least cost includes hiring a Gilbert AC repair center that does the job right on the first go-round. Some Gilbert residents and even some Gilbert businesses may opt to go with an under financed and short staffed repair center. The wise ones, even the DIY masters, tend to stick with a fully equipped Gilbert AC Service Center.
